If I was a teacher and inadvertently ended up with it somehow, I think I would be worried about the accusation so absolutely wouldn't go to the parents before taking some kind of advice or at least telling my superiors/union/law enforcement just to protect myself.

If you were a teacher, you would also have received mandatory-reporter training, so there would be even less gray area as to what to do next.

But your intuition is pretty much spot-on with the training I have received.

I don’t understand how the other commenters don’t see this! Immediately go to law enforcement and let them deal with it, forwarding to ANYONE is the wrong thing to do, legally and morally, imo.
